The show wrapped up with a performance by White Denim, an Austin band that rocked out, but didn’t really set me on fire. They performed five songs and by the end of the fifth, much of the crowd had dispersed.

They missed Jimmy coming out to say, “Thank you,” and send the crowd off with some warm fuzzies.

By then there was no problem exiting the Long Center and we took off on our hike back to the office at 504 Lavaca St.

It was a fun time. Worth the wait. And left you thinking that Austin had received its proper due.

Gov. Rick Perry is on the docket tonight, which prompted a round of moans from the crowd when announced last night. But there will be other, much hipper guests this week, including Lady Gaga, Robert Duvall and Willie Nelson.

We’re hoping more tickets come through the lottery for us, though that might be optimistic thinking.

But if lightning strikes twice, I think we’ll make sure we have some cash. A glass a Chardonnay might be the perfect appetizer to Kimmel’s full plate of entertainment.
